Know before you buy
D3 refers to All-Clad's signature three-ply bonded construction. It consists of a responsive aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of durable stainless steel, which ensures even heat distribution across the entire pan.
Yes, the exterior layer is made of magnetic stainless steel, making it fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric ranges.
To prevent sticking, preheat the pan over medium heat before adding oil or butter. Once the fat is shimmering, add your ingredients; allowing the food to sear properly will naturally release it from the stainless steel surface.
Yes, this pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. Because it is made entirely of stainless steel, it can withstand high-heat finishing in the oven without damage.
While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the polished finish and prevent any potential discoloration over time.
The pan weighs 4.74 pounds. While it has a solid, professional-grade feel, the flared sides and sturdy handle are designed to help you toss and flip ingredients with control.
